I think I must explain my silly "crapiest member" behavior. When dynamic equilibrium is changed the new one is established after series of stochastic movements. In case with behaviour norms changed by "AE beaurocrats" new borders of allowed actions should be determined by provocations. I tried to test these new borders. What we see now -- "crapiest country" topic is still allowed although not favoured but personal attacks are not. Do you thing it is reasonable and expected result? I don't.

I agree with you Anton, in that, with this new subforum certain boundaries get stretched. By allowing most anything up to this point we can now examine the responses and opinions that you, the membership, have offered. Your sentiments along with a few others have led me to move two marginal threads over to the tavern. I hope this result meets your expectations.

We have created this forum to promote the ideal of free speech by opening up for some of the more controversial subjects, subjects that earlier were blacklisted in order to maintain peace and avoid flamewars on All Empires.

The name of this forum, The Minefield, is not chosen randomly but chosen to indicate that this is a place where we watch our steps, conduct ourselves with caution and navigate within a good margin of the limits of the Code of Conduct.Before posting, you might want to brush yourself up on these rules, and please remember, while we want to promote the highest level of freedom of speech, we do focus vigorously on faul behavior, personal attacks, negative attitude etc.

Currently all previous blacklisted topics can now be disscussed. Members will need at least a 50 post count to participate.

freedom of speech or not freedom of speech?

or well let you know after you've posted (not before)

Thank you Paul - but who are "we" - or are you addressing yourself in plural?

Seko and I were thrilled to spend an hour each to tidy things up after you - be thankful we both are men of patience and used to deal with (more or less innocent) juvenile provocative behavior - just for the sake of it.

Can you create a topic on the turkish casualties during the 1974 war of Cyprus. It's a blacklisted topic, so i decide not to begin it somewhere else, and have it simply either deleted or moved.

What i'm intersted in is what the exact figures of turkish military casualties were during the war. I don't have any access to turkish sources here in Greece, so I beg the turkish forumers to enlighten us if they can.

Defeat allows no explanation
Victory needs none.
It insults the dead when you treat life carelessly.
